The fact that Crawford has never even had a close fight is genuinely scary

    You're talking about good resumes and you literally picked the most cherry picking fighter of all time, SMH. Styles make fights but so does age and damage taken.

    It seems like its literally a race thing. For some reason American minorities feel compelled to support PBC. I am not minority but I was HUGE Floyd fan. Floyd was an unbelievable fighter, ATG and in conversation of TOP 10! And because Floyd publicly aligned w PBC his fanbase feel like they have to too...nonsense.

    PBC does all the things Floyd complained about like inhouse fights (and ****ing brags about it), say names of other fighters to promote self but never actually fight them (Jermall and Gervonta, etc.), take fights w undeserving opponents, and long periods of inactivity.

    Floyd complained when Arum/TR and Manny did the exact same thing but now its okay?!? What the what?!?

    How and why people support this blows my mind. Boxing fans had a chance to eliminate PPV w DAZN but they chose PPV model because theyre idiots, honestly.

    I don't know. average US fan don't like Bud. Whites, mexicans and also PBC black fans.

    US fans don't support their own and that's weird to me. UK support their own, Japanese and other counties as well, but not US.

    Wasn't a knock down. EK caught Crawford with a good right hand, Crawford held on then EK got excited and started swinging wildly, while landing nothing. In the process, he flung Bud to the canvas. He didn't go down from the result of a punch. Now go take another look and tell me if that sequence did not happen.

    Thank you! I've been saying this. People act like Crawford was clearly put on his seat.
    Most people on this forum are like minded when it comes to combat sports and can be completely irrational about fighters that they either support or dislike. So people disagreeing with me is something that I'm used to. That CLEARLY was not a knock down and it's a pity that people choose to stick to b.s.

    You can very well be just as irrational if not more than what most people on this forum think. I will always go for what the majority think (i watched it anyways). Its not just this forum but all the top comments on that video are saying it was a knockdown

    You should consider going for what your eyes see over what the majority thinks.

    He may have a better resume than Crawford, mainly because his era had better fighters around, but he still ducked Casamayor, who I think would have beaten him at that point in time.
